First and foremost, Ani Kyd is a rocker with a powerful throat. In 2005 Kyd released her debut solo CD Evil Needs Candy Too, co-produced with Jello Biafra. Formerly of Spank Machine, Approach The Throne, and Thor (yes, that Thor!), she had fronted the Vancouver heavy rock band FUEL INJECTED.45, including guitarist Ashley Blue (Strapping Young Lad) and bassist Stuart Carruthers (Tenet, Grip inc., The Golers).

Although the band never made a proper album before splitting up in 2004, they made great demos, and this CD collects them up for your listening pleasure. The original lineup also includes Byron Stroud (Fear Factory, Zimmer's Hole, Strapping Young Lad) and Scotty McCargar (Bif Naked). PAST DEMO-NS is a slab of metallic heaviness that Alternative Tentacles is proud to unearth and share it with the world. Fuel Injected .45 was resurrected in 2009 with a new lineup!

"First and foremost, Ani Kyd is a rocker with a powerful throat. In 2005, Kyd released her debut solo CD Evil Needs Candy Too on Alternative Tentacles, co-produced with Jello Biafra. Fomerly of Spank Machine, Approach the Throne and Thor (yes, that Thor!) she fronted the Vancouve heavy rock band Fuel Injected .45, whose original lineup including Ashley Blue (Strapping Young Lad), Stuart Carruthers (Tenet, Grip Inc., The Golers), Byron Stroud (Fear Factory, Zimmer's Hole, Strapping Young Lad) and Scotty McCargar (Bif Naked). Although the group never made a proper album before splitting up in 2004, they recorded a series of great demos, collected on Past Demo-ns - a slab of metallic heaviness that Alternative Tentacles is proud to unearth and share with the world. Fuel Injected .45 was resurrected in 2009 with a new lineup, and is currently making an album due by year's end. The reunited band will be playing Canadian and US shows this summer in conjunction with this release." - Revolver

"If ever there is a metallion that never garnered the praise she deserves it's Ani Kyd. With a career most rockers would give their left little guy for (Spank Machine, Thor, Approach the Throne), she's obviously got a bigger set of cajones than we accredit her. Proof in the pudding, this release of previously defunct yet now reunited outfit Fuel Injected .45 features her mind-shattering vocal pyrotechnics coupled with the rhythmic prowess of members of Strapping Young Lad, Tenet and Grip Inc. The end result is a sound and style that shifts between almost sugary serenity, imposing beastliness and an oppressive crush. Switching from a throaty croon and almost operatic bellow to gritty grind while the band hammer out low-end chugs Metallica have been struggling to recapture since a bus turned Cliff Burton into road kill, this collective's thunderous ability never ceases to impress. Yes, some songs could be omitted, as they're not entirely overwhelming and sound dated in retrospect. Still, when it comes to prowess and sheer power, Kyd's Fuel Injected .45 reign supreme." - Keith Carman, Exclaim
